“And the oil companies and tech broligarchs coveting them probably have more in common with the 20th century’s United Fruit Company and sugar barons than they think.”

Went to my first meeting 8 years ago but committed to the Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families program officially three years ago!
Happy 12-step anniversary to me—grateful for the ongoing gifts of recovery.
I am indeed worth it and it absolutely works if I work it.

I'm putting together a piece about how much investigative journalism actually costs. If you are an investigative journalist and you're willing to share (not for attribution) what you make and how many hours (years!) you put in, my DMs are open. Estimates fine, just want to get a sense of it.

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

One thing I keep thinking about as it relates to the United States long history of intervening in Latin America as part of its larger imperialism project is that if a leader really posed a threat to this country like Salvador Allende did w his real socialism the US would kill you.

grateful for what stranger things says on grief, trauma and childhood but I wish the show had gone the Buffy route with the ending for El.
I still love the show. Maybe with distance I'll appreciate that part too.

“In the 1990s, after withdrawing from film sets, the star adopted those views and married Bernard d'Ormale, adviser to Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the far-right Front National (FN), the precursor to today’s Rassemblement National.”

Convicted five times for racist remarks, the actress – whose foundation announced her death on Sunday, December 28 – remained one of the only French celebrities to openly embrace far-right views.

When I hear this, I think of the people who were in the streets in Ferguson in 2014-2015 for 375 days STRAIGHT while the national guard was called up and people were being brutalized by cops in the streets for WEEKS. Complete amnesia.

Feeling blessed to end a tough year with such gratitude.
